They are, for a number of reasons. Mostly being front wheel drive, and that you can buy one that's just the cab and about 12" of chassis behind it, so easy for the conversion with a low floor.

 

They're still shite vans though.

I'm talking base vehicles for PVC's not coach built, Mercs, although I like them, don't lend themselves easily to conversions.

Any thoughts/experiences of the newer MAN/Crafter vans?

Crafter looks a good van, there's a tidy one for sale around you, Alsager I think... let me have a look...

We run a euro 6 sprinter tipper, as well as the euro 5 DAF LF. Sprinter has proven to be a great arb truck, pulls like a train, and drives like a car on the motorway. Had a 3.5 ton canter before that was a bit of a sh!tter , lots of aggro with EGR etc, and parts were a fortune. Also the mini lorries are so damn heavy, that you get F all legal payload.

Not really what you are looking for but this looks cheap (relative to what these tend to sell for!)

What would you recommend for someone who can do mechanical things but isn't very good at electrics?

My mate is selling this @eggsarascal - he’s dead straight and it will have had plenty of servicing in his ownership (it’s been his work van, he’s a tractor and plant mechanic). Not sure if it’s up your street but you can stand up in the back etc.
